Don't Mess With The Lady Parts of Texas Women

In the United Sates, one out of every three women has had an abortion. If you are a women living in Texas, that state has passed hundreds of laws in the last several years that strip a women's right to privacy, limit access to abortion, and shame women into thinking that their choice about what to do with their bodies is wrong.

In the United Sates, one out of every three women has had an abortion. If you are a women living in Texas, that state has passed hundreds of laws in the last several years that strip a women's right to privacy, limit access to abortion, and shame women into thinking that their choice about what to do with their bodies is wrong.

As Cecil Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, put it:

"We've heard stories from women who have taken 400-mile bus rides to get an abortion several towns away; heartbreaking accounts of folks who are trying desperately to raise the money to leave the state and travel somewhere they know they'll be able to access their constitutional right. Anecdotally, we're seeing signs that more than anything else, women are simply delaying having the procedure. Some of those women may be holding out hope that a court will rule, or an elected official will step in; others are just plain out of options. History shows us that in this situation, we all have reason to fear that some women will take matters into their own hands and resort to desperate, possibly unsafe measures."

Recently, Lizz Winstead and Sarah Silverman decided to do something about the war for female reproductive rights and served as co-hosts of the "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can Choose" telethon, which raised over 50 thousand dollars to benefit groups that provide funding for women seeking abortions, including The Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity, Fund Texas Women, Texas Equal Access Fund, and the Whole Woman's Texas Action Fund.




Katie Klabusich, who was a producer of the event along with Winstead, is our guest-interview guest in this segment to discuss the war on Women.

6. Do NOT Mess with the Lady Parts of ANY Woman! Texas or ANYWHERE Else!

But yes, we'll focus on Texas for awhile, hopefully to drag them kicking and screaming out of the Bronze Age. Hopefully the correct choice in Virginia means THAT disgusting trend has been stopped, at least as long as we can keep DEMS in the command-and-control positions.

'Fraid I've gotta go fairly militant about this one. A woman's right to have THE LAST WORD on what happens to HER body - is an ABSOLUTE. Pure 'n' simple. I'm afraid this one is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

8. I like your view best.

A woman's health-care should not be subject to meeting government specifications--ESPECIALLY when those specifications have been written by "MEN" like Ricky Perry, Ricky Santorum, or Ken Cucinelli!! Her body--HER decision. Period. Case Closed. Texas is the reality we have to deal with, and I for one will support those who want to fight that reality as it exists now.

[calimary]

12. It's just simply a non-starter. A NON-NEGOTIABLE. My body is MINE, and MINE ALONE!

And so is YOURS - it's YOURS ALONE. And so are the decisions that affect YOUR body. This is an ABSOLUTE. Case CLOSED. This is NOT open for discussion. This is NOT negotiable. This is an ABSOLUTE! Don't even bother bringing it up! I don't demand control over my husband's body, his ears, his balls, his knees, whatever. I don't demand control over my kids' bodies especially now that they're over 21. I don't demand control over the priest's body in church, or Henry Waxman's body - my Congressman. I don't demand control over Barbara Boxer's body or Dianne Feinstein's, or Jerry Brown's, or Eric Garcetti's or his wife's, or ANYBODY in the Obama family. WHY should ANY of them have the last word over MY body? Heck, even the Pope is backing off of it. Actually said the church should no longer be so obsesses with issues like abortion or homosexuality either, for that matter.

But... perhaps we should change that. I think some of the women in Congress and the Senate, EVERY TIME there's some abortion bill put forward, EVERY DAMN TIME, should tack on amendments dictating, regulating, and restricting what can be done to the scrotum and penis as well. Tit for tat, as it were. That should be automatic. ANY bill that comes up to screw with a woman's right to choose should have amendments PILED ONTO IT that legislate the scrotum. Like - NO you can't get your damn Viagra pills so easily anymore! We're gonna be putting all kinds of religious shit on there to complicate YOU life and mess with YOUR privacy and get in YOUR way, too! And we're gonna be in YOUR proctologists' and urologists' offices too with all our bedroom-busybody legislative agendas, too. As long you're doing this, SO ARE WE!!!!!!!

And if you santorums and cucinellis and perrys and the rest of you keep at it, then maybe we're just going to have to go find Lorena Bobbitt and ask her what we should do next. I think we have to start getting MEAN and NASTY and damn MILITANT. IN THEIR FACES with it.

Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.

And here's something else that makes it pretty damn simple: If you don't believe in abortion - then don't HAVE ONE! Nobody's forcing you!

In Perry's man parts.

9. KnR.

I just hope the Texas GOP doesn't get away with their new voter laws, which could have a negative impact on the (married) women's vote.

[progressoid]

10. Sorry, but I don't think $50k is a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.

We need a LOT more than that to make up for the crap the anti choice crowd has been pulling.
